Ephesians 3:20-21

“God can do anything you know – far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!  He does it not by pushing us around, but by working within us, His Spirit deeply and gently within us.”  (The Message)

Exodus 33:18

“Then Moses said, ‘Now show me your glory.’ ”

Our scriptures were given us by one of our board members and faithful intercessors, Cindy.  Her prayers were answered as she prayed, beyond (beyond) our expectations.  And yes, we saw His glory shine forth on that mountain.

Our Spring Retreat was simply amazing.  Five mothers gathered to share, support, encourage, and love on each other for two glorious days.  The Lord never disappoints as He speaks to each heart that enters the gate of the Potter’s House.

Everyone senses the Spirit rise up to meet them in the place they are as they enter on the grounds.  It is truly a place of refreshment and renewal.  We learned about how God intends us to live in the Spirit, instead of the soul (our feelings and emotions).  God taught us to call our spirits up to meet His Spirit.

Everyone felt comfortable sharing with each other because in this group we felt safe of condemnation, shame, and guilt, even though some were meeting for the first time.  The freedom we experienced was because we all had a prodigal son in common.  We felt an instant understanding and empathy for each other because of our similar circumstances.

We shed tears, laughed at things only we understood, and loved on each other.  We also had solitary moments when we went off alone on a rock in the middle of a rushing brook, hiked up on the top of the mountain, sat at the fire pit in the middle of a beautiful garden, or down by the water.  God met us each where we were.

It was a blessed time together.  I hope you’ll consider joining us next time.
